2

Neven and Ronald Oliver, by and through their counsel, Kiel Ireland, Esq., of the Attorney General’s

3

Office; Defendant Raynaldo Ramos, by and through his counsel, Robert W. Freeman, Jr. Esq., of the

4

law firm of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP; and Defendant Jeff Castro, by and through his

5

counsel, Craig R. Anderson, Esq., of the law firm of Marquis Aurbach Chtd., hereby respectfully

6

submit this Stipulation and Order Extending the Deadline for Submission of Joint Pretrial Order

7

currently due on November 10, 2022 an additional thirty (30) days, up to and including December 12,

8

2022.

9

This Court previously denied a joint unopposed motion to extend the deadline for submission

10

of the Joint Pretrial Order on September 19, 2022, and then granted a modified version of the same

11

request [ECF No. 221, 223.] Hence, this is the third request for an extension.

12

This stipulated request for an extension is made in good faith and not for the purposes of

13

delay. Counsel for Defendant Jeff Castro is currently out of the jurisdiction through November 11,

14

2022 and will be traveling on the week of November 14, 2022 for an oral argument before the United

15

States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Counsel for Defendants State of Nevada ex rel Nevada

16

Department of Corrections, James Greg Cox, Timothy Filson, Dwight W. Neven and Ronald Oliver

17

also require additional time due to recent changes in representation, as former counsel Steven

18

Shevorski, Esq. and Akke Levin, Esq. are no longer with the Attorney General’s office. Further,

19

current senior counsel for Defendants State of Nevada ex rel Nevada Department of Corrections,

20

James Greg Cox, Timothy Filson, Dwight W. Neven and Ronald Oliver is currently the Attorney

21

General’s point person for election litigation and is therefore unable to review and provide additions

22

to the joint pretrial order before the current November 10, 2022 deadline.
